2 DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION Administration of LUMIZYME should be supervised by a healthcare provider knowledgeable in the management of hypersensitivity reactions including anaphylaxis. ( 2.1 ) Recommended dosage is 20 mg/per kg body weight administered every 2 weeks as an intravenous infusion. The initial infusion rate should be no more than 1 mg/kg/hour ( 2.2 ) Reconstitute and dilute LUMIZYME prior to use. ( 2.3 ) See full prescribing information for storage of the reconstituted and diluted product and administration instructions ( 2.4 , 2.5 ) 2.1 Recommendations prior to LUMIZYME Treatment Administration of LUMIZYME should be supervised by a healthcare provider knowledgeable in the management of hypersensitivity reactions including anaphylaxis [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1) ] . Initiate LUMIZYME in a healthcare setting with appropriate medical monitoring and support measures, including access to cardiopulmonary resuscitation equipment [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1) ] . Prior to LUMIZYME administration, consider pretreating with antihistamines, antipyretics, and/or corticosteroids [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1 , 5.2) ] . LUMIZYME must be reconstituted and diluted prior to use [see Dosage and Administration (2.3) ] . Appropriate medical monitoring and support measures, including cardiopulmonary resuscitation equipment, should be readily available during LUMIZYME administration [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1) ] . 2.2 Recommended Dosage and Administration The recommended dosage of LUMIZYME is 20 mg/kg body weight administered every 2 weeks as an intravenous infusion. The initial infusion rate should be no more than 1 mg/kg/hour [see Dosage and Administration (2.5) ] . Missed Dose If one or more doses are missed, restart LUMIZYME treatment as soon as possible, maintaining the 2-week interval between infusions thereafter. 2.3 Reconstitution and Dilution Instructions Reconstitute and dilute LUMIZYME in the following manner. Use aseptic technique during preparation. Do not use filter needles during preparation. Reconstitute the Lyophilized Powder Determine the number of LUMIZYME vials to be reconstituted based on the actual body weight in kg and the recommended dose of 20 mg/kg. Round the number of vials up to the next whole number. Remove the required number of LUMIZYME vials from the refrigerator and allow the vials to sit for approximately 30 minutes at room temperature 20°C to 25°C (68°F to 77°F) prior to reconstitution. Reconstitute each vial by slowly injecting 10.3 mL of Sterile Water for Injection, down the inside wall of each vial. Avoid adding the Sterile Water for Injection to the vial forcefully or directly onto the lyophilized powder to minimize foaming. Gently tilt and roll each vial. Do not invert, swirl, or shake the vial. Each vial will yield a concentration of 5 mg/mL of LUMIZYME. The total extractable dose per vial is 50 mg per 10 mL. Visually inspect the reconstituted solution in the vials for particulate matter and discoloration. Discard if particles are present or the solution is discolored. The reconstituted solution may occasionally contain some LUMIZYME particles (typically less than 10 in a vial) in the form of thin white strands or translucent fibers subsequent to the initial inspection. This may also happen following dilution for infusion. These particles have been shown to contain LUMIZYME and may appear after the initial reconstitution step and increase over time. Studies have shown that these particles are removed via in-line filtration without having a detectable effect on the purity or strength. Dilute the Reconstituted Solution Select and prepare an appropriate size 0.9% Sodium Chloride for Injection infusion bag with quantity sufficient of 0.9% Sodium Chloride for Injection to obtain the recommended total infusion volume per table 1 based on patient weight and dilute. Slowly withdraw the required volume of reconstituted solution from the LUMIZYME vial(s). Avoid foaming in the s…

5 WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS Infusion-Associated Reactions (IARs) : If an IAR occurs, decreasing the infusion rate, temporarily stopping the infusion, and/or administration of antihistamines and/or antipyretics may ameliorate the symptoms. ( 5.2 ) Risk of Cardiac Arrhythmia and Sudden Cardiac Death during General Anesthesia for Central Venous Catheter Placement : Caution should be used when administering general anesthesia for the placement of a central venous catheter intended for LUMIZYME infusion. ( 5.5 ) Risk of Developing Anti-alglucosidase Alfa Antibodies : Patients with IOPD should have a cross-reactive immunologic material (CRIM) assessment early in their disease course and be managed by a clinical specialist knowledgeable in immune tolerance induction in Pompe disease. ( 5.6 ) 5.1 Hypersensitivity Reactions Including Anaphylaxis Hypersensitivity Reactions Including Anaphylaxis Hypersensitivity reactions including anaphylaxis have been observed in patients during and up to 3 hours after a LUMIZYME infusion. Some of the hypersensitivity reactions were life-threatening and included anaphylactic shock, cardiac arrest, respiratory arrest, respiratory distress, hypoxia, apnea, dyspnea, bradycardia, tachycardia, bronchospasm, throat tightness, hypotension, angioedema (including tongue or lip swelling, periorbital edema, and face edema), and urticaria. Other accompanying reactions included chest discomfort/pain, wheezing, tachypnea, cyanosis, decreased oxygen saturation, convulsions, pruritus, rash, hyperhidrosis, nausea, dizziness, hypertension/increased blood pressure, flushing/feeling hot, erythema, pyrexia, pallor, peripheral coldness, restlessness, nervousness, headache, back pain, and paresthesia. Some of these reactions were IgE-mediated. In clinical trials, hypersensitivity reactions including anaphylaxis were managed with infusion interruption; decreased infusion rate; and administration of antihistamines, corticosteroids, intravenous fluids, and/or oxygen. In some cases of anaphylaxis, epinephrine was administered. Some LUMIZYME-treated patients who experienced a hypersensitivity reaction and who tested positive for alglucosidase alfa-specific IgE antibodies were successfully rechallenged with a slower infusion rate at a lower dosage of LUMIZYME and continued to receive LUMIZYME under close clinical supervision. Because LUMIZYME-treated patients who develop anti-IgE alglucosidase alfa antibodies appear to be at a higher risk for developing hypersensitivity reactions including anaphylaxis, these patients should be monitored more closely during LUMIZYME administration. Recommendations to Prevent, Mitigate, and Monitor for Hypersensitivity Reactions Prior to LUMIZYME administration, consider pretreating with antihistamines, antipyretics, and/or corticosteroids. Administration of LUMIZYME should be supervised by a healthcare provider knowledgeable in the management of hypersensitivity reactions including anaphylaxis. Anaphylaxis has occurred during the early course of enzyme replacement therapy and after extended duration of therapy. Initiate LUMIZYME in a healthcare setting with appropriate medical monitoring and support measures, including access to cardiopulmonary resuscitation equipment. If a severe hypersensitivity reaction (e.g., anaphylaxis) occurs, discontinue LUMIZYME and immediately initiate appropriate medical treatment, including use of epinephrine. If a mild or moderate hypersensitivity reaction occurs, consider temporarily holding the LUMIZYME infusion or slowing the infusion rate. Consider the risks and benefits of readministering LUMIZYME following a hypersensitivity reaction including anaphylaxis. Patients may be rechallenged using slower infusion rates at a lower dosage than the recommended dosage [see Adverse Reactions (6.2) ] . Inform patients of the symptoms of life-threatening hypersensitivity reactions, including anaphylaxis and recommend they seek immediate medical care should these symptoms occur.…

8.1 Pregnancy Pregnancy Exposure Registry There is a pregnancy exposure registry that monitors pregnancy outcomes in women exposed to LUMIZYME during pregnancy. Pregnant women and women of reproductive potential should be encouraged to enroll in the Pompe patient registry. The registry will monitor the effect of LUMIZYME on pregnant women and their offspring. For more information, visit www.registrynxt.com or call 1-800-745-4447, extension 15500. Risk Summary Data from postmarketing reports and published case reports with alglucosidase alfa use in pregnant women have not identified a LUMIZYME-associated risk of major birth defects, miscarriage, or adverse maternal or fetal outcomes. The continuation of treatment for Pompe disease during pregnancy should be individualized to the pregnant woman. Untreated Pompe disease may result in worsening disease symptoms in pregnant women (see Clinical Considerations ). Reproduction studies performed in mice and rabbits at doses resulting in exposures up to 0.4 or 0.5 times the human steady-state AUC (area under the plasma concentration-time curve), respectively, during the period of organogenesis revealed no evidence of effects on embryo-fetal development. In mice there was an increase in pup mortality during lactation at maternal exposures 0.4 times the human steady-state AUC (see Data ) . The background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage in the indicated population is unknown. All pregnancies have a background risk of birth defect, loss or other adverse outcomes. In the U.S. general population, the estimated background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage in clinically recognized pregnancies is 2% to 4% and 15% to 20%, respectively. Clinical Considerations Disease-associated Maternal and/or Embryo-fetal Risk Untreated Pompe disease has been associated with worsening respiratory and musculoskeletal symptoms in some pregnant women. Data Animal Data All reproductive studies included pretreatment with diphenhydramine to prevent or minimize hypersensitivity reactions. The effects of alglucosidase alfa were evaluated based on comparison to a control group treated with diphenhydramine alone. Daily intravenous administration of alglucosidase alfa up to 40 mg/kg in mice and rabbits (0.4 and 0.5 times the human steady-state AUC, respectively, at the recommended biweekly dose) during the period of organogenesis had no effects on embryo-fetal development. Administration of 40 mg/kg intravenously every other day in mice (0.4 times the human steady-state AUC at the recommended biweekly dose) during the period of organogenesis through lactation produced an increase in mortality of offspring during the lactation period.

( 6.1 ) To report SUSPECTED ADVERSE REACTIONS, contact Genzyme at 1-800-633-1610, option 1 or FDA at 1-800-FDA-1088 or www.fda.gov/medwatch. 6.1 Clinical Trials Experience Because clinical trials are conducted under widely varying conditions, adverse reaction rates observed in the clinical trials of a drug cannot be directly compared to rates in the clinical trials of another drug and may not reflect the rates observed in clinical practice. In clinical trials, the most common adverse reactions (≥5%) following intravenous alglucosidase alfa treatment were hypersensitivity reactions, and included anaphylaxis, rash, pyrexia, flushing/feeling hot, urticaria, headache, hyperhidrosis, nausea, cough, decreased oxygen saturation, tachycardia, tachypnea, chest discomfort, dizziness, muscle twitching, agitation, cyanosis, erythema, hypertension/increased blood pressure, pallor, rigors, tremor, vomiting, fatigue, and myalgia. Adverse Reactions in Clinical Trials in Infantile-Onset and Juvenile-Onset Pompe Disease Two multicenter, open-label clinical trials (Trials 1 and 2) [see Clinical Studies (14.1) ] were conducted in 39 patients with infantile-onset Pompe disease (IOPD), aged 1 month to 3.5 years old. Approximately half of the patients (54%) were male. Patients were treated with intravenous alglucosidase alfa 20 or 40 mg/kg every other week for periods ranging from 1 to 106 weeks (mean: 61 weeks). The most serious adverse reactions reported with alglucosidase alfa treatment included anaphylaxis and acute cardiorespiratory failure. The most common adverse reactions requiring intervention in these clinical trials were hypersensitivity reactions, that occurred in 20 of 39 (51%) patients treated with alglucosidase alfa, and included rash, pyrexia, urticaria, flushing, decreased oxygen saturation, cough, tachypnea, tachycardia, hypertension/increased blood pressure, pallor, rigors, vomiting, cyanosis, agitation, and tremor. These reactions were more likely to occur with higher infusion rates or doses. Some patients who were pretreated with antihistamines, antipyretics and/or corticosteroids still experienced hypersensitivity reactions. Table 2 summarizes all adverse reactions that occurred in ≥5% of patients (2 or more patients) treated with alglucosidase alfa in clinical trials described above.
